Arsenal has officially announced the contract extension of forward Caitlin Foord with the Women’s Super League club.
The 28-year-old Australian player joined Arsenal in 2020 from Portland Thorns in the United States. Since then, Foord has been a key contributor, featuring in 94 matches for the club.
In the current season, she made 33 appearances, scoring 11 goals and providing nine assists, playing a significant role in Arsenal’s campaign.
“I couldn’t be happier to extend my stay here at Arsenal,” she said.
“I want to continue to get better and to help the team – I enjoy going out and training every day and wanting to be better and being surrounded by world class players. This feels like the right place – the place I want to be.”
As well as helping Arsenal secure a third-placed finish in the WSL, Foord was part of the team that won the Continental Cup this year and head coach Jonas Eidevall is looking forward to next season with the Australia international.
“Caitlin is an integral part of our team so we’re all delighted by the news that she has signed a new contract,” Eidevall said.
“She is one of the best forwards in the world and has performed to a consistently high standard for us during my time here, providing some crucial goals and delivering on the biggest stages.
“I’m looking forward to seeing what we can achieve together next season and Caitlin will play a key role in that.”
